Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Empirical evidence suggests that most people who use drugs to get high do so moderately. This means that they use drugs infrequently and in low doses. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Choices B and C are not supported by the evidence as not all drug users go on to deeper drug use and experience problems in their personal lives. Choice D is also incorrect as drug use alone does not make a person a social deviant.
